Be itknown that I, EDWANA E. Wlri'r, a citizen of the United States, .residing at Atlanta, in the county of Fulton and State of Georgia,V have invented-certain new and usefulp''mprovements in Dust-Collectors .for Radiators, of which the following is aspecification. v

My invention relates to dust collectors for radiators and has for its primary object t0 rovide a simpleand inexpensive device which may be applied to radiators toprevent the dust from circulating past the radiator and soiling the 'Walls and ceiling.

Another objectc my invention is'to construct the device in such a manner that the dust shield may be constructed of paper,

thereby being readily removed when it' has become Worn. or uvnsightly, and a new shield placed in its stead. A i

`Another1object of my invention is to ebnstruct the shield supporting and attaching frame of the device 1n such a manner as will permit it to be used on any size radiator.

, Still another object is to so construct the `device that the parts may be packed for shipment in a very small and neatpackage.

With these objects in view, the invention will be' Vmore fully set forth by referring to the illustrative embodiment 4shown on the accompanying drawings.

In said drawing Fgure 1 is a side view of a radiator `with the invention applied thereto. l

Fig. 2 is a vertical 'section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, showing',A the bracket con- 'structcd for use on a radiator which'may set away from the' Wall. Fig. 3 is an end view of a modified form of bracket. v Fig. 4; is a side view of thedevice with the vparte assembled. v

F1 5 is a perspective view of the prefer-re supporting and attaching rods in position.

Fig.V 6 is a sectional v-ievv of a radiatorV with the invention applied thereto showing the bracket constructed for use on a radiator which may set close to the wall.

Fig. 7 isa modified form of the inventlon. :,jf

`Fi 8 is a perspective view of a part; of

i. the 'modified form of shield supporting and attaching' rods. i y

Referring the drawings in detail, A,

form of bracket showing the shield x represents a radiator'of a conventional type. and 1 represents a vertical bracket constructed for attachment on the section con- `nector B of the radiator by means of U- shaped clamps l, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 1, 5 and 7, or by means of clamps l", as shown in Fig. 3. In the former constructlon of the clamps av bolt v 1c is used tofde- -curely hold the clamp in lposition,.buffbin the latter `construction the clamp is con- 6a structed of spring steel and the ends are\ so disposed as will permit the clamp to engage the section connector B and be held 1n place by' friction. 2 represents the parallelly disposed shield supporting and 70 'attachingy rods. These rods are constructed with two telescoping'sections in order that they may be used on radiators of different lengths; 3 represents' counter-sunk grobves f provided on the brackets 1 `in which the' rods 2 are seated. 4si: represents the dust Vrshield having an extension apron 4% which may be made of anysu'ftable materlal'g-bt gpreferably paper, and'lf'the present case.. it has been foundyby usm a-paper having 80M la roughened sprfac'e, the ust is more rea@ `ily collectedr andcaused to adhere tothe surface of the shield.- The shieldunay ner; the manner illustrated is probably the `preferred manuel', to wit, by 'passing the cotter pins 5 through the shieldl and one of the openings 6 in its supporting rods 2,1 then through the opening in the comit sunk groove on the bracket. This-xn i 'of Iattaching the shield will simplifyc anging an old shield whendesired. 'By "roviding a plurality of the openingsfthe 'frame is more readily adjustable 4to radiif' tors-of different lengths; however, in most instances, the desired adjustment ofv the length of the frame may be realized by the' teleseoping members 2, and thereby make` it unnecessary to provide more than oneopening as shown in themodification in* Fig. 7%," While I have not pointed'out s ery," ci'fieally the particular design of the brac 'et members, it is to be understood that they may be constructed with their 4dive'rgingi al;

Ring a`v frame, a. shield supported thereon'l'g i said frame com rising vertical bracket nwmbcrs -huving -slmped attaching clamps for attachment to the section connector of the radiator, a bolt engaging said U-shuped clamps for clamping it on Said section con nector, a plurality of shield supporting rods carried by the bracket members, and means for attaching said shield end its supporting rods tosnid bracket members.

2. A dust collector for radiators comprising 'n like downlframe, u removable paper shield .fupported thereon, Seid frame coinprising" .'ertical bracket members adapted to extend above the radiator, U-shaped clamps on said the section connector of the radiator, bolts connecting said clamps and passing under the section connector, Suid vertical bracket members being provided with counter-sunk grooves, a plurality of shield supporting rods carried by the 'bracket members .in

said counter sunk grooves', and Cotter pins bracket for attachment to y bracket members having clumps for .attechment to the section connector of tlie'r.1diator, und :t plurality of telescopng shleld supporting und attaching rods supported on said bracket members, and cotter pins for connecting the shield to said frame 'lhc foregoing specification signed at Atlnntn, Gn., this 29th dey of January, 1915.
